Deborah (Phelps) Miller, czt3 and mc1

Think of ‘Closet Artist’, and that would be me. By day, I’m a licensed mas-sage therapist in a suburb of Akron, OH known as the Fairlawn/Copley area. Since 1991, I’ve owned and operated a private practice for medical massage therapy. In 1996, I became interested in developing my understanding of the energy medicine. Through this process, I found my way to Zentangle and through Zentangle, I found my inner artist hidden away. Alongside my active massage therapy practice, I coach a weight reduction and maintenance program, and teach Zentangle classes. I’m married to a wonderful man who has allowed me to share in his life and children’s lives since 1996. We are blessed with three lovely granddaughters, ages 18 yrs – 8 yrs, who all know the Zentangle process. I love teaching the Zentangle process to anyone who will listen. It is this love of pattern making that keeps me sane.
